What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is a service that helps to increase performance and speed of your website. It has services like Content Delivery Network (CDN), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack protection, Domain Name Server (DNS) services. It caches the static content of your website and delivers the result in a much faster way. It will download all the static pages of your website to its server and the server display the result to your website visitors very quickly. Cloudflare CDN stores all your content in the data center around the world and they have 152 data centers. So when a user sends a request to your website, this Cloudflare will take the content from the data center which is geographically located nearest. By this, the loading time drastically reduces and the speed of the website will be high.

CDNs are essentially the backbone of the internet, and, as their name suggests, they are in charge of delivering content online. Most people in the world don’t realize how often they use CDNs every day for all kinds of online tasks, such as reading online news, shopping on Amazon, watching silly YouTube videos, and browsing Instagram, Reddit, or Facebook.

Cloudflare also provides a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to your website. Cloudflare is good in providing security to your website, it can very effectively fight protect your site from DDoS attacks, spammers and malware injections.

How does a Content Delivery Network (CDN) work?

CDNs make use of caching technology to store a copy of the website at a specified number of locations around the globe. So no matter where a site’s visitors live in the world—New York, Perth, South Africa, London—all of the data and content from the website that is then delivered to them will be from one of these locations that contain a server that is caching content and data.

Server Caching occurs when servers store data locally so that when it’s requested by a user nearby, the data can be served faster.

In a nutshell, CDNs place a website’s content in many places all over the world which can reach a wider audience much faster. So when someone in Perth, Australia accesses your Washington DC hosted website, it’s done through a local Australian server rather than a server in Washington DC. As the result, the load times are way faster than having your Aussie visitors’ requests and your website’s responses travel across the world and back.

There are plenty of notable CDNs available today on the market, but Cloudflare is one of the most popular. It aims to ensure your site availability, security, and performance.

Apart from that, Cloudflare has an excellent variety of services to both optimize and protect any website, and it’s easy to use. There’s simply a ton of performance-boosting potential here, but if you’re still unsure, try out our ManagedPLUS hosting plan and take it for a spin.

Another added bonus of using Cloudflare is its image optimization. Its technology can reduce file sizes by an average of 35% and even optimize image display for mobile devices.
